I know it's not Moldy Monday, but I figured y'all would appreciate this 110 year old cartoon anyway.

After 110 years millionaires aren't even bourgeois anymore.

USD $1,000,000 in 1914 would be worth about $31,000,000 today.

Huge difference. With 30M you can buy a few flats and never have to work again. With 1M you can buy your own flat and have more of your monthly salary to spend.

Millionaires are small fries. They're a dime a dozen nowadays.

Billionaires are where it's at. No individual on the face of Earth requires that much money. Why go through the effort of taking down 1000 millionaires when you only need to remove a single billionaire?

You've got to start from the top and work your way down.

Well, yeah. It is from 110 years ago. You have to adjust for inflation.

Millionaire literally just means "retirement eligible" at this point...

Same, Mary

If you have the opportunity to relieve a M/Billionaire of any of their money, at this point I feel you're morally obligated to. To free the money from a dragon's hoard is the right thing to do.

Mary is fucking based.

Well start wearing your heart on your sleeve, or gun.

It’s not healthy to bottle it up inside and not let it out.
